Hello, everyone.
          
          I know it's been a long since I last updated or post an announcement from this or from AO3 website, so I'll tell you briefly what's happened.
          
          My first job ended for five months last year, from April 1 to August 30, 2024, took a break a few days before looking for another company to work, which I have in November but delayed until mid-January, something about maxed out training room or some even have to let go from the said company I applied but it's in the past now for me.
          
          Training started from 4 pm to 1 am (in my place they call it mid-shift), so you can imagine me going home and went to sleep quickly and wake up around 1 pm after, not giving me time to do what I want, making/reading stories and playing games.
          
          Now, I transitioned and my schedule's 10 am to 7 pm, but another 2 hours because of me hitting the gym every work days, motivated to use the company's gym and reduce weight and looking physically okay for my height.
          
          Last I updated the rewrite of my MHA fanfic book is almost around 7 to 8 months, so I apologize for that.
          
          I'm still updating, just had to do life stuff. I don't know when I will publish, but I'm sure before the one-year hiatus, it will be posted.

Hey man did the name of your AO3 account change or what?

Recently watched the jersey retirement of Mr. Vince Carter... My God... he really deserved it.
          
          Never won a championship ring, but Mr. Vince Carter put Toronto on the map, felt like a championship career. He truly deserved it.
          
          Also, that jersey banner was lit.

Hello, guys. It has been a few months since the last update. So far, in recent days, it's not been good or at least recovering from it. The last day of August reached the end of my probationary or training period. Sadly, I didn't get it. So, currently I'm a job hunter while also attempting to try new things in Graphic Design. Needed experience and portfolio on that one.
          
          Also, for what I'm doing in AO3, I'm trying to update as soon as possible, but taking time as well while playing recent games. Also, I changed my username at the said website.
          
          I now go by the name of RedHalo at AO3. I'm not going to change the username, TheBlackLunatic, in WattPad.
          
          It became dear to me, but it's time to move on. RedHalo is a gaming username, but decided to use it generally, both gaming and writing, I guess.
          
          Until then, stay tune for update. And yes, maybe within this week, there will be the long-awaited chapter of Go Beyond at AO3.
          
          Yes, Go Beyond is the new rewrite name of Symbol of Hope.
          
          Anyways, thank you for reading this lengthy announcement and stay safe everyone

Readers who have read through every chapter of Symbol of Hope, I'm grateful that, despite my poor grammar and some rushed events, you all have enjoyed it.
          
          As a thank you, here is the sneak peek of the revised prologue of Symbol of Hope. There is a chance I would change the title as well.

I wish your stories were on ffn I use the tts to listen to all types of stories while I work 

It seems that my announcement has not posted when I was typing it on my phone. Might as well announce it before I hit the bed.
          
          Long story short, WattPad was sold and these new owners are going to purge stories they disliked and I have to change the label to mature (?), also shoutout to the reader who gave me the news in chapter 38 of Symbol of Hope.
          
          Sad to say, I'm really uncomfortable after learning it and I will stop writing chapters on this website ONLY. It's been quite a ride since this is where i started. 950 followers is actually a milestone I never thought I would reach it, but nonetheless, I'm grateful for it.
          
          And if you didn't know, I already have an AO3 account and yes, I have posted 2 of the books (Symbol of Hope and Crowned King, the latter is hiatus). Other books I published? I will unpublish them and transfer them to MS Word or Google Documents.
          
          Here's the link to my AO3, by the way.

          It's been a hell of a ride, guys. This may or may not be the last time I post an announcement here in WattPad. If the news are indeed going as it is, then... it's time to leave WattPad, and I will also unpublish the books as well. Going to change my status and hopefully read the bio afterwards.
          
          Thanks again for reading this lengthy announcement, I hope you guys stay safe and healthy despite hearing the news.

@0_Black_Mask Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I will, but had to focus on my work. From time to time, I'm slowly filling a chapter.

It hasn't been 5 years and I feel that 2020s is the dark decade, for we lost so many legends. Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Bossman, Rocky Johnson, Howard Finkel, Shad Gaspard, Brodie Lee, Bray Wyatt, you can name the list who passed away these last 4 years.
          
          And among them is the recent Akira Toriyama, who passed away caused by an acute subdural hematoma, a brain related one.
          
          Fly high, Toriyama-sensei. May you rest in peace and become the stars above.

Good morning, guys. Either Sunday or Monday, it's been awhile since I last update.
          
          How are you? I hope your days and a month in this year has been good to you.
          
          And yes, I'm still looking for a job that aligns with my course/interest. But right now, this day (Monday for me), marks my 23rd year of my life.
          
          Yep, happy birthday to me. And to Tsuyu Asui as well.
          
          So, when will I come back to update? Maybe sooner, because I'm still waiting for a reply from the hiring manager of a company I applied a week ago. Another reason why I haven't updating is that I'm attempting to improve my hobby through an online course about graphic design.
          
          But I'll come through, whatever ups and downs my life gave me, what I only know is to never give up hope and keep pushing through.
          
          Anyways, that's all for me, and thank you for reading this short and birthday announcement of mine. Have a good day, everyone!
